About Hjertekaker
Hjertekaker, meaning "heart cakes" in Norwegian, are traditional sweet treats often enjoyed in Nordic countries. These small heart-shaped cookies are typically made with flour, sugar, butter, and occasionally spices like cardamom or vanilla for flavor. Egg yolks are sometimes included to create a richer texture, and they are often decorated with a dusting of powdered sugar or colorful icing. While Hjertekaker are a festive favorite, their primary ingredients—refined flour, sugar, and butter—make them high in calories, saturated fats, and low in nutritional value. However, their small size allows for portion-controlled indulgence, making them a delightful choice for occasional treats. Often tied to seasonal celebrations, especially Christmas, Hjertekaker capture the warmth of Scandinavian baking traditions while serving as a reminder to enjoy sweets in moderation.
